I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to get my plants back to health. Here is my setup.

SH Bubbleponics system
6 - unsexed plants (OG Kush & Grandaddy Purple)
I am using the SH nutrients and following their guidelines.
Lights are on 18 of 6
Pump is running continuously sending water directly to the rockwool cubes.
PH is 6
Room temp is between 65 and 70 degrees

All the plants are exhibiting the same problem. The leaves are curling under and get brittle and paper like. New leaves are forming but take on the same problem. Please help... I don't want to lose them.

Not exactly sure but it looks like salt buildup on your hydroton, probably the SH nutes. Switch your nutes to something the rest of the grow community uses so you have a benchmark to work from.

I think these plants (rootzone) are too underdeveloped to be flooding the cubes continually. I would use a drip ring and get it as far as you can on the outside perimeter of your hydroton. Reduce your watering to 30 sec. every 30 min. (maybe less) that way the roots get enough oxygen and you are not drowning them in the cube. You need to read up on oxygen and how it relates to a healthy rootzone.

Good luck,
Unity

Ok, I will switch the watering times. What is a good timer to accomplish the times you mentioned?
